 I am selling my 1970 Nova SS 396 L-78.  I do not have any paperwork on the car but it has all the signs of a real L78 Nova.  (big block heater core, big block radiator core, single 3/8 gas line and sending unit.)  The motor is not the original one but it is a real CKO L-78 396 from another Nova. The motor has been completely rebuilt with all correct numbers and correct date coded parts. There is very little rust on the car.    This car has been off the street since 1981.   It runs great and  is very fast.

Block:    3969854    CKO                         Trans:                3925661,  P0S18A, 10W185998

Heads:    3964291                                     Water pump:     3969811

Carb:      4557                                           Rear end:          CBT  3:55 Posi

The transmission is the original one to the car. It works great. P0S18A date code

The rear end is not the original one to the car but it is a correct 12 bolt CBT 3:55 posi rear end that has been rebuilt. The  date code is CBT 0501  2  E

The car has new rear leaf springs, gas tank, tires and restored wheels.

The interior is mostly original except for the front bucket seats someone installed.  This car was originally a bench seat 4-speed.  The shifter hole was cut out a few inches so that a Hurst shifter could be used. (easy fix).  The carpet, headliner and rear seats are original and are in good shape. It has a remote side mirror and a rear defrost.

The body has all original panels as far as I can tell.  The front fenders and rear wheel well lip have some rust but are not bad. (see pics).  There is a little rust on the deck lid an at the front of the dash by the windshield.  The frame is solid.   The floor pans and trunk are in good shape.  Original color was Champagne Gold which can be seen all over the car.  All the glass is good and original.  Has a black vinyl top.

This is a great car to finish up or drive around like it is.  Look at the pictures and ask questions. I can send more pictures if anyone wants.   If you would like to come look at the car that can be arranged.  I have a clear Texas title.  This car is sold as is, ask questions or come and look at the car before bidding.  Good luck.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
